I do have to tell you to be careful of certain meet-ups as they can be solely used for attracting new investors who aren't entirely knowledgeable about investing and they can get taken advantage of (I know multiple individuals that have).

To get multiple deals a month its likely going to take a team and a large marketing budget.

Ive really appreciated hearing how others have integrated multiple businesses into their models creating multiple flows of income as well.

Normal wear and tear would be cleaning and painting without need for primering or multiple coats. 

The investors that I work with often have multiple "exit strategies" depending on each deal so that they do not end up stuck with a property.Dave 

I wouldn't if I were looking to purchase multiple properties in a short amount of time, and maximize my return on investment

I was told multiple times it is not legal but had one agent tell me she called the grand pooba of ga reall estate and was told that rule is misunderstood and it is legal.

It has recovered nicely but that is something that may happen again.Note that the S&P500 in the past two years has been about 15% IRR so this is great for diversification and it may keep pace with the market in the long run but true full diversification is also important.Bottom line, as far as I am concerned, I would give a green light to Fundrise with the caveat of a reocmmendation to diversifying between multiple offerings (I like wide diversification for safety).

Glad you have a mentor and that you plan to buy a deal where you have multiple exit strategies.

Multiple that by what ever percentage you think will cover vacancy, CapEx, repairs.
